Zinc-Catalysed Depolymerization of Poly(Butylene Succinate) and Poly(Butylene Adipate-co-Terephthalate) and Enhanced Degradation of Catalyst-Polymer Composite Films. [PDF]
ChemSusChemBiodegradable polymers are a crucial part of a sustainable future with plastics. The depolymerization of two prominent examples, poly(butylene succinate) and poly(butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate), is reported with a highly active zinc catalyst. This includes rapid depolymerization in neat methanol.
